Shows wont play from xLights

[rhconcepts]

I'm not sure what happened, but I sure could use some help.

Not long ago I could work on a show then play it directly from xlights. Now nothing plays right, even the old ones. If I send the show to the FPP they all play correctly. I thought maybe a network issue so I rebooted everything. Then I removed the controller from xlights and set it back up again, and still same thing.
Any clue how I can fix it?

What is your network like?
Did you update FPP?
Can you see your controllers from xLights?

My PC is hardwired and so is the controller and FPP. In xLights I removed the controller and FPP and reconfigured them, that didnt help. If I make a show and upload it to FPP the show plays fine. It's only when I'm working on the show and want to send it directly to the controller that it's all messed up. What I do is render what I'm working on, then click on Output To Lights and play the show. It was working fine last year now its just messed up. When I say messed up the light flicker like its getting a small portion of the info.
Im going to reinstall xLights to see if that helps.

What is your PC IP?
What is the IP of the controller?
What is the FPP IP for eth0?
What is the IP for WLAN0?

PC 192.168.1.105
FPP 192.168.1.191
F-F16 192.168.1.67
WLAN0 not sure about that one. But why would the FFP matter? I was running shows right from xLights long before I built the FPP.

Update: First, I want to say thank you for trying to help me. When you asked for the IP's of everything I thought you might be asking because you thought it might be a conflict, I'm not sure. But I thought maybe I should turn off the FPP because it's not doing anything if the show is coming from the PC, and sure enough that was the problem. But if the FPP is just on but not playing a show, why would that mess things up?

One of the xLights smarter people than me will have to jump in. Maybe xLights was trying to play the show through FPP and FPP was not configured "in bridge mode"? I don't really know.

Either way it was a complete nightmare, I had to reinstall Xlights and lost a lot of my configuration and backup files. I had to redo the Matrix I had set up to run my projector. Not using this stuff everyday makes it hard to remember how I did it the first time lol.
But thanks again for helping

Now I can sit outside with my laptop and work on the design and see what it looks like live
